18
Haemostasis Product Rationalisation

  • Selection Criteria
    • Customer choice
    • Robustness in the manufacturing process
    • Cost of production

  • Rationale for Cull
    • Brand awareness (“Trini”)
    • Focused product offering
    • Reduced production costs (currently values assigned for most reagents against most instrument types)
    • Manufacturing efficiencies (larger batches, more frequently)
    • Inventory reduction
    • Less application work (matrix effect)


19
Haemostasis Product Rationalisation

  • 106 Products Culled
    • Once-off non cash write-off of US$2.9m
    • Won’t be culled until applications for alternatives in place
    • Revenues virtually unaffected – substitution effect

24
Instrumentation Rationalisation

  • Multiple instrument types within Trinity – haemostasis & infectious disease


  • Accumulated from various acquisitions


  • Rationale for cull
    • Reduction in training of service engineers and tech support
    • Reduction in applications work (matrix effect – eg haemostasis, 184 reagents and > 20 instruments)
    • Multiple part numbers (8,765 for BMX instruments alone)
    • Need to support instruments for 7 years post cull
    • Inability of service engineers to carry parts in trunk stock
    • Older technology – availability of parts going forward

25
